This used to happen in my childhood – whenever I would say ‘momma bell baji hai’ when there would be no-one at the door, my mom would respond ‘tumhare kaan baj rahein hain kya?’ These days, the accusation seems to be true… My ears must be ringing for sure, for I keep hearing that irritating ping sound of gmail even if there is none.

Sad. This is what my life has come to. Thank You, technology. And Thank you, my over-imaginative ears! Sigh.
